The writer criticizes the character development of Amber in the show Invincible. They argue that Amber is portrayed as a perfect, flawless character who is never held accountable for her actions. Her behavior towards Mark, the main character, is particularly problematic, as she gaslights him, withholds information, and is overly critical.

Instead, she is portrayed as a self-righteous and entitled individual who is always in the right.
